Christoph from Germany tells about his Skype course with "EnjoyRussian" Language School! One day hope to see him in our School!

"My attention to the Skype course was attracted on Facebook. It took me a while to sign in, but the stuff of the 'Enjoy Russian Language School' never forgot about me and also was always very polite and did never 'stalk' me. The whole subscription and payment process was very professional and I never had a doubt about giving my money to this institution.

The Skype Language Course of 'Enjoy Russian Language School' is pure conversation course. The curriculum is supported by textbooks and a workbooks, which are mostly used for homework. After a 20 minutes test call my teacher, Olga, explained to me in our first lesson how the concept looks like and what we are going to do. She is very flexible in planning the lessons and the communication is always direct and easy​, which perfectly fulfills my needs, because I am travelling a lot.

For the most of the time we are having a regular conversation about daily issues and Olga is always directing those kind of conversations into a grammatical exercise. Like this the lessons pass by very quickly. I really enjoy the lessons, because Olga is a very smart person and able to explain everything to. I often wonder about the origin of words and she can explain the roots of those words which clearly shows that she has a huge knowledge not only about Russian language but also about Greek and Latin language. Again, it's a really great course and if I'll have the time in the future, I'll continue".

“Make friends with Russians and don’t speak with other foreigners in English”- a piece of advice from a Canadian who knows Russian.

Most of the students who learn Russian usually tell us that it is a very difficult language! We won’t argue. It is not easy. But we are pretty sure that it is possible to learn it, speak and understand it!

Today we would like to introduce you the teacher of the Language Center in Petrozavodsk – Lloyd Morin from Canada! Lloyd has been living in Russia for 5 years. And his Russian is really good!

5 years ago it was not. Lloyd came to Russia with good knowledge of the language structure, but he couldn’t speak.Just immersion in Russian lifehelps him speak, more and more! He made friends with many locals and tried to communicate as much as he could. As a result he can speak, write and understand the language!

We have been cooperating successfully with Associazione Portico delle Parole, corsi di russo a Bologna . This year we have arranged a special Scholarship content for its students interested in the Russian language learning!

The main idea was to make a picture "A piece of Russia in my city" and write few sentences about Russia.

We are glad to announce the winner!

Martina will come to the "EnjoyRussian" School in summer 2017 and will learn Russian in a group for free for two weeks!

Students share their opinions about the program!

Laura from UK: "Content of the course was perfect for me - revision of some things I already knew, as well as new topics/grammatical aspects. We had a great teacher, very enthusiastic and helpful! Volunteers were very kind, some of them gave up lots of their time to help. Overall the program is very well organized, even though I would have preferred to pay before I came. It was a fantastic course I would definitely recommend: a good variety of resourses made classes interesting, host families are a great idea as it forces us to speak Russian on a daily basis. I liked the excursions: especially Kizhi and horse riding (and the price is good!). Definitely perfect environment to learn Russian in and make good progress, even for 2 weeks"

Let me introduce one of the “EnjoyRussian” Language School friends – Laura! For the first time she came to our school in 2015! And in 2016 she came back to Petrozavodsk as a volunteer in our International Summer Language Camp for Teenagers. Laura fond of the Russian language, so after the camp she had 2-week Russian course and lots of speaking practice during her stay in Petrozavodsk!
